Accident on the Portland G. ogdens-

Yesterday morning, the down train on the
Portland & 0gdensburg railroad met with an
accident near East Baldwin. While pro-
ceeding with two engines and snow pillow.
the pillow suddenly left the rails, twisted
around at right angle with the track, and
completely derailed the forward engine. The
rest of the train remained on the irons. All
efforts Of the engine on the rails to pull the
derailed engine back again, proved unavail-
ing, and wrecking train was sent out from
this city in charge of Roadmaster Newcomb.
After five hours of hard work the derailed
engine was hauled back on the rails unin-
jured. There were large number of pas
sengers on the train, among them being
Hon. w. W. Thomas, Jr.. Just returning
from the delivery of his lecture at Harrison.
In response to earnest and repeated calls
from the snow-bound passengers, Mr..
Thomas arose and spoke extemporaneously,
and in an easy, pleasant way, of Sweden and
the Swedes, of the habits and customs of
the Scandinavians, and Of the strange and
wondrons sights of the far North-land. 1t
was rare treat for the passengers, and
at It's close unanimous vote of thanks was
passed to Mr.. Thomas for his delightful en-
tertainment. The train arrived here about
. O'Clock yesterday afternoon, about five
hours behind time.

Rev. J. w. Bashford and the Consti-
tuition.

Again, it may be urged that the legislators are
chosen to act for the people, and that they play
the coward when they shirk responsibility and re-
fer any question to the people for decision. But
this argument sayors too much of arstocratic as
against representative government. w. Bash
ford IN the Press Feb. 28u.
The Legislature, whenever t,eo-thsrds Of both
houses shall deem II necessary, may propose
amendments to this Constitution.-Con Consultation OF
Maine, Art. x, Sect. 2.
The Legislature shall, by a twothirds concur
rent vote of both branches, have the power to
call constitutional conventions for the purpose Of
amending the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
Maine, Art ", Part Third, Sect Is.
If the equal suffragists had asked the Legisla-
ture to give women municipal suffrage without
ascertaining the sentiments Of the people, the pro-
an entirely different right, viz: the right of the
people to vote on this question:. W. Bdsl.ford,
I6idem.
The remonstrants are simple enough to
believe that the Constitution makes it the
duty of the Legislature to examine and
weigh seriously and independently all propo-
sitions for altering the fundamental law of
the State; and forbids them in spirit if not
in letter to propose any amendments unless
"ttco-thirds Of both houses" honestly and
sincerely deem it necessary"
In this faith they demonstrate against the
necessity OF the suffrage amendment, to the
body on whom the first responsibility is cast
And when the amendment is proposed to the
people, they will continue their opposition
by protests and arguments addressed to
those upon whom the responsibility for the
next step rests.
In the meantime, with the reverend gentle
mans permission, they will decline to follow
blindly those who maintain that the Legisla-
ture must abrogate authority and disregard
responsibility as often as it is suggested that
the Constitution requires change.

charles Howard MONTAGUE.

The mind reading expose to be given at
City Hall, March 9th, promises to be an ex-
ceedingly interesting occasion. Mr.. Mon
tague's extraordinary success in the perform
ance of the experiments recently done by
Washington Irving Bishop would be of it.
self Sufficient inducement for the public to
attend, and the fact that he is to undertake a
practical demonstration of just how they are
accomplished makes the interest so much
the stronger.
A great. many people, in spite Of all the
discussion which has arisen ON this subject,
are still in doubt about the true inwardness
of the mind-reading puzzle, and to these peo-
pie Mr.. Montague's exhibition will be ex-
ceeding instructive and interesting.
1t is curious fact that Mr.. Montague,
since he has showed his phenomenal ability
in this line has been claimed by everybody
The Spiritualists claim him as a good
medium, the adherents of the animal magnet
ism hypothesis insist that his success is due
w that agent, and the believers in Bishops
brain-wave theory are certain that he OBJ
tains his results by unconscious induction of
this kind.
Mr.. Montague, however, insists that the
feats are simply series Of clever physical
tricks. The lpublic will judge of that after
they .have seen him and listened to his ex-

History Repeating Itself.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t is curious to look over the names of
those who are now protesting against the re-
moval of the Old City Hall, and see how
many times the same names have appeared
to protest against almost every measure Of
progress that has come up in this city in the
past twenty years, and how scarce the dol
lars are that they have given in that
time for the benefit of the city or of the pub
lie generally. Such contribut rslin that list
are very scarce, but ''croakers" known as
such, who have spent most of their lives in
crying out against taxation, many will be
recognized, and that is the extent of their
interest in the monument business. Their
are about six hundred such people in Port.
land, and they are great takers and busy
workers, and it is great wonder with such
a lug that Portland has made,eventhe pro-
gress that she has. If we are to keep pace
with other cities, the Old City Hall should
come down, whether the monument goes up
or not
